The popular Crew Center published a video showing what it described as “chaos” which “erupted at the Galveston Cruise Terminal when a massive brawl broke out in the luggage pickup area, after guests disembarked from the cruise ship Carnival Jubilee.” The video had apparently been posted on the Facebook page – COPs – Cruisers Opinion Page.

Crew Center described the post cruise melee which shows a “large group of people aggressively punching and hitting at least two men, while several kids are standing nearby watching the scene. In the midst of the brawl, a security staff member can be seen rushing to intervene, followed moments later by two officers attempting to break up the fight. However, tensions remained so high that one officer was visibly pushed back during the scuffle, struggling to bring the situation under control “

The incident follows reports from passengers posted in the Facebook “Cruisers Opinion Page” that altercations had already occurred during the cruise. “Fights reportedly broke out on Decks 4 and 10 of the Carnival Jubilee, with mention of property damage on Deck 10.”

Carnival has not issued a statement regarding any arrests or injuries from the violent incident.
